The article also misspelled the name of the university where one of the researchers, Reuven Dukas, works as a biologist. It is McMaster University, not McMasters. Link

An article on Tuesday about changes in the way diseases are classified misspelled the university where Dr. Jacalyn Duffin works as a professor of the history of medicine. It is Queen’s University, not Queens. Link
